KapSafe™ Recapper

The new KapSafe™ Automated Recapping System from LGP Consulting Inc., is an automated,
pneumatics-free, high-speed, benchtop recapper designed to safely and automatically recap
tubes for storage or archiving. The system, which has a small footprint (24 inches wide x 24
inches deep x 33 inches high), automatically recaps all standard vacuum collection tubes (13
to 16 mm diameter, 75 to 115 mm height) at speeds of up to 1,200 tubes per hour. The system
protects lab workers from repetitive motion injuries associated with manual recapping. The
archiving caps fit tubes from 13 to 16 mm in diameter, and enable repeated automated
decapping and recapping. The system provides walkaway operations with a hopper capacity of
4,200 archiving caps, and an input capacity of up to 20 multiple types of racks including
major instrument-specific racks with various-sized tubes in each rack.
